Aug 04, 2011Windows Media Streaming - Pass Source IP to Server
I'm looking for a way to pass the source IP's to our windows media streaming servers, so they are captured in the logs. This would be similar to an X-forwarded-for configuration for a web server. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JC

Assuming the initial connection to the streaming server is using HTTP then use - JC_47645

Thanks for the response. I have that option turned on, but i'm still getting the IP of the LTM. I know when you use that option with IIS, you need to install an ISAPI filter for it to work. I opened a case with support and they said they didnt know of a way to get it to work and to see if someone could help with an iRule. Thoughts? - nitass

i agree with jarvil. if it's not possible, i don't think there is an easy way. - JC_47645

Can you use an ARR helper? If so, check this post: - JC_47645

Just so its clear, the ISAPI filter is installed within your website. I use this for all of our IIS installations and it works great. This is not for IIS, it is for Windows Media Services and the ISAPI filter does not work with it. - Terrence

Did you Ever find a solution to this? Is ARR helper the way to go? - What_Lies_Bene1

I doubt it. The Virtual Server didn't have SNAT enabled so clearly the IP was being translated before the traffic hit the F5.
